US EditionXRP Awaits Breakout as CME Futures Launch Looms
- On May 19, 2025, CME Group introduced new cash-settled futures linked to XRP, including both standard and smaller-sized micro contracts, available on its regulated Chicago platform.
- The launch followed ongoing legal challenges between Ripple and the SEC, including a denied settlement and continuing uncertainty over XRP's classification.
- The new contracts enable institutional investors to participate in XRP price fluctuations without directly owning the cryptocurrency, featuring contract sizes of 50,000 and 2,500 XRP and settling based on the CME’s reference rate.
- Lawyer Bill Morgan stated the futures could drive institutional demand in multiple ways, while CME’s Global Head Giovanni Vicioso noted growing interest from both institutional and retail investors.
- This development signals rising institutional acceptance of XRP and may improve its long-term adoption, though short-term price breakout depends on broader market momentum amid ongoing legal uncertainty.
